DAILY/BIRTHDAY TAROT AND NUMEROLOGY

1 feb 2012 > 8/17 > Balance/adjustment/The Star

If it’s your birthday on this 1st day of Feb. Happy Birthday and here are some things to ponder as this ‘new year’ unfolds. Adjusting and Balancing the flow of life. REaching for the Heavens, while feeling the vulnerability of being human with the limitation that come with that… and.. still allowing for the reach and the feel of the vulnerability. Letting the experience of making the connection between what is here and what is out there. Seeking that balance. Well being is a part of the experience of The Star: self care, positive attitude, feeling out what is right for your body, your mind, your spirit.

How might you define, body, mind, and spirit in the context of your life?

How will you keep balance with what goes on within you and that which goes on around you?

If this be your birthday or just another wonderful day, here are some thoughts and questions to consider.

The Hermit shares his/her wisdom. He holds a beacon of light that sways in the faraway or maybe the foggy night letting you know that wisdom is not so faraway and that the fog can be lifted with a thought and action.

Even in the shadows of the Moon, light isn’t but a step out where what was hidden can be seen or found.

Winter is being very friendly this year. Or so it seems, not laying inches and inches of snow on us. It is the inches and inches of snow that protects the hibernating life, the seeds and plants that rise again in the Spring. It feels odd, a little wrong and disturbing. Solar Flares, Global Warming, The Earth having her time as she see fit. What do we know, really? A little of all of this and that… Nature Wins.

EArth finds her balance

She adjusts herself

Shaking, blowing, trembling,

Storming, flowing, giving, taking,

Finding herself Be all of

What she can be in the Galactic

Scheme of things.

Finding your balance

adjusting yourself

shaking, trembling, laughing,

storming, flowing, taking

giving yourself to the discovery

that you are, As Above so below

Consider how you will

shine in the NIght sky

How you will give to your days

And how you will evolve

on an evolving planet that

really doesn’t need you

to thrive and survive.

EArth wins, we’re lucky

to BE on the this Galactic ride

DAILY/YEARLY TAROT AND NUMEROLOGY

29 jan 2012 > 17/8 > The STar/Balance/Adjustment

For your consideration if this is your birthday year or a day that feels like it needs more thoughtfulness: The Star is he/she who, in her vulnerability stands touching the Earth and reaching for the Heavens. She is a conduit to bring Heaven to Earth and Earth to the Heavens, finding Balance and a way to adjust herself appropriately.

I finished my contest story and I’m readying it for sending it out. It’s A strange one tho’ I gotta say I find pleasure in it’s odd poetics. I’m thinking that it will probably appeal to a minority, which in a contest like this with a few hundred peeps, I might get dismissed right away. The best part of this is having been given some parameters in writing and then having a week to write it. I feel stretched in my writing. A very good thing.If you want to read it, just ask and I’ll send it to you. Here is a little slice of it (not the beginning) for todays poetic entry…

There was a time when there was pleasure in the ache of the Bite. When it came like a crystal sway of sparkle and glitter taking us beyond our limited selves to a greater self for to find the treasures of the Frigid Sea. Its need to drive the Great White to the South Away expansion seemed less urgent and it’s drive into our bodies a gentle pain.

I could feel its tremble urgency as it staked it’s claim on my body. Maybe it knew I was the Sacrifice, the Gift, and was bound to go beyond the Great White to end my days. I wanted the ache of it, for the last time, to sear me from the inside out. Make my body scream strong for my giving to the final Great Lonely.

DAILY TAROT AND NUMEROLOGY

28 jan 2012 > 16/7 > Tower/Charioteer

If this is your birthday than you might consider these thoughts and questions for the year, or… perhaps today is enough. The Tower invites you to consider how you build your life. How you might gather to you what is important, and what will be sustainable, as well as how you will do this creatively with out going to far away from the foundation/base of you. The Charioteer asks that you keep your focus, your ‘eyes on the prize’ as you prepare and gather information for what it is that feels important to you. There maybe a time when your shear will will be needed to take action on behalf of you life.

What do you wish to give your focus to and how will you do that?

Have you filled your tower with too much of what and is it working for you?

If this is your birthday year or you want to consider this day from my point of questioning you to your own answers… Here we go. The DEvil/Lovers combo speaks to how we negotiate and have our relationships, not only with other; with ourself. The Devil challenges, and tricks, and tosses situations out to you that urge you to truly face yourself and how you give and receive in relationship/s. The Lovers, also give out these challenges. Their difference lies, ( if indeed there is a difference), in how the heart listen and how invested your heart is in discovering the best of yourself by giving the best of yourself.

How will you hold sacred your Love?

How might you make that Devilish part of yourself a learning/playful journey, rather than destructive?

How might the opening of your heart make room for healthy, positive relationships?

Today’s invitation or your birthday’s invitation is that this will be a day/year to consider Ending and new beginnings; to consider how you will build your ‘castle’, its form and structure, its rules and security. It will also be a year/day to remember to find the joy and pleasure in foolishness and to let ‘acting the fool’ bring you to a deeper understanding of letting go and letting life fill you in the moment, unburdened by ‘stuff’ and thoughts’ to know pure joy.

What does pure joy mean to you and how do you experience it?

What have you gathered that has become Too much and needs letting go of?
